Hendo Would Fight his "Buddy" Chael!

This is interesting and I'm glad to hear it. Hendo is taking a very professional approach to what is a situation that is killing a ton of potential, important match-ups in all divisions. There's too many "friends" in this sport.

Here's Dan's quote:

"We're friends, but above all we fight now in the same category and therefore have the same goal. We both compete for the same belt. Our friendship is more than a title and we are professional enough to let the rivalry be just inside the Octagon. It would be a different situation, but our profession in this type of situation is quite possible to happen."

That's one top LHW Id like to see Chael fight. Would be interesting. Henderson has the clear advantage standing, but I'd give Sonnen the edge wrestling. Henderson's wrestling isn't as good as it once was. Jake Shields proved that.

Chael would make Hendo look foolish..........would be an embarrassment actually.

If it were a 5 round fight I may be inclined to agree with you, but in a 3 rounder, I see Hendo dominating the first two and maybe even finding a finish. Chael can take a punch, but Hendo has the power to put away anyone.

Hendo doesn't have the power to put away anyone........his KO power is extremely overrated. I see Chael dominating hendo just like the other fights chael does

ya kind of messed up that..........can be read a few ways. I was just replying to what coreymb said. Meant to add in some thing like the 30 or so fights where he didn't put away "anyone"

Right. But he's still a guy that does have that special one punch knock out power. That's a rare quality and always has to be concern for opponents. Hendo would be able to disregard Chael and his stand up for the most part and only worry about the TD. Still a big worry, but I think he wins the first two rounds, especially at LHW. People think of Chael too highly from his wins over Okami and Marquardt, imo.
